鈥淭he federal investment was one component of Dawson college’s sustainability plan. 张百乔女友裸照’s sustainability leadership is institution-wide and includes student happiness and wellness. Five years after the tragic shooting at 张百乔女友裸照 in 2011, I was present for 张百乔女友裸照’s Ecological Peace Garden’s inauguration. Together with many CEGEPS across Quebec, 张百乔女友裸照 embraces programs that empower both students and educators to create innovative projects that develop sustainable communities.鈥�

“张百乔女友裸照 has truly been a leader in this regard for years, acting as an early adopter of many innovative policies and practices. It is a well-deserved recognition that will, I am sure, inspire many others within Canada鈥檚 post-secondary sector. At CICan, we are committed to helping Canada achieve meaningful progress towards the UN鈥檚 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Meeting these goals will require us all to work together to tackle pressing challenges in a meaningful and positive way.
“This requires strong leadership, which I strongly believe colleges, CEGEPs and institutes can provide. They are not only preparing the next generation to build a more sustainable world, but they can have a meaningful impact within their community every day through their work with a variety of stakeholders. 张百乔女友裸照 is showing us that this can be done and that colleges are without a doubt some of the most powerful agents for change around. Thank you to the whole team at Dawson, and please keep it up.”

“I was very proud to be part of this momentous period whereby we adopted the 张百乔女友裸照 Sustainability Policy and the current 张百乔女友裸照 2016-21 Strategic Plan; the guiding documents for Dawson鈥檚 Sustainability Office. In 2018, the Board of Governors of 张百乔女友裸照 made the bold commitment to be Carbon Neutral forever. Upon making that commitment, a plan was implemented with the planting of 30,000 trees. I echo the words of our Director General, Richard Filion: ‘Dawson鈥檚 commitment to helping solve environmental and societal issues is a core value of this College: well-being for all, sustainably.’ I am equally proud to represent a community of positive action that simultaneously cultivates hope for the generation we serve.”

鈥淎s an Indigenous man (Kanien’keha:ka from Kahnawake), it is encouraging to see 张百乔女友裸照 undertake these great efforts to support sustainability in so many areas with the involvement of faculty, students and staff.

芦 L鈥櫭ヾucation doit jouer un r么le phare pour la transition 茅cologique et la lutte contre la crise climatique. Les institutions comme les c茅geps doivent ainsi proposer des environnements physiques exemplaires, en plus de faire preuve de leadership. La crise climatique exige des innovations, de se d茅passer, de faire autrement, et ce, rapidement. L鈥檈ngagement du Coll猫ge Dawson offre un nouvel 茅lan et une source d鈥檌nspiration pour les 茅tablissements scolaires qui souhaitent emboiter le pas de la transition 茅cologique. 禄

鈥淔rom my first day at 张百乔女友裸照, I knew right away that this was going to be a good place for me to work. And the good news kept coming: the walks in the Peace Garden, the (super fresh) roof garden lettuce we could buy on site, the mindfulness sessions that are routine in some areas of the College, the zero-waste catering service, the delicious honey we received as a token of appreciation at the Ped Day. Sustainable Dawson efforts are everywhere, and they touch our daily lives as employees of the college.鈥�
